Product overview
Description
The STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware allows testing of the STEVAL-EDUKIT01 rotary inverted pendulum kit and embeds the software for the X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1 stepper motor expansion board included in the kit.
The firmware allows correct configuration of the rotary encoder parameters for the stepper motor included in the STEVAL-EDUKIT01 interface via dedicated timers.
It also performs closed loop system control through the STM32 ARM-Cortex M4 microcontroller on the NUCLEO-F401RE development board.
The firmware includes a bidirectional UART interface to send operating parameters to a PC and to receive commands to change system operation and configuration.
A dedicated Matlab user interface is also provided to help you modify the motor control parameters according to specific rotor response characteristics.
The educational set, with real-time Matlab viewer and interface, helps you build your understanding of ARM-based embedded architecture (STM32CubeIDE), stepper motor control and real-time systems based on proportional, integral, derivative (PID) control, as well as more advanced techniques such as State Space or State Space with linear quadratic regulator (LQR).
A further set of open source tutorials and training material is at your complete disposal at www.st.com/motorcontrol-edu.
